So, what are we really made of? Dig deep inside the atom and you'll find tiny particles Held together by invisible forces Everything is made up Of tiny packets of energy Born in cosmic furnaces The atoms that we're made of have Negatively charged electrons Whirling around a big bulky nucleus The Quantum Theory Offers a very different explanation Of our world The universe is made of Twelve particles of matter Four forces of nature That's a wonderful and significant story Suppose that little things Behaved very differently Than anything big Nothing's really as it seems It's so wonderfully different Than anything big The world is a dynamic mess Of jiggling things It's hard to believe The quantum theory Is so strange and bizarre Even Einstein couldn't get his head around it In the quantum world The world of particles Nothing is certain It's a world of probabilities It's very hard to imagine All the crazy things That things really are like Electrons act like waves No they don't exactly They act like particles No they don't exactly We need a theory of everything Which is still just beyond our grasp We need a theory of everything, perhaps The ultimate triumph of science I gotta stop somewhere I'll leave you something to imagine
